Thanks very much for your comment. Whilst the building is unlikely to be restored to it’s original state, we are hoping that some of the original interior features which remain can be saved before the building deteriorates any further. With this in mind, we eagerly await the decision on the sale of Seafield House.

Wasn’t it due to fire causing the roof to collapse that’s ruined the interior? Not all people who enjoy visiting and photographing Scotland’s old beautiful abandoned homes/house/hospitals/castles and halls are ‘mindless vandals’

Most of the damage to the interior was due to the fire and subsequent neglect. There are still questions that may never be answered about how the fire started. If it was started deliberately, then it was certainly an act of vandalism to destroy such a beautiful house. Whilst not condoning illegal entry into buildings, there is certainly a value of the work of photographers who have captured images of abandoned buildings, like Seafield House, in a responsible way. These photographs provide a record of building details that that may be lost forever otherwise.
